I was able to describe the drive to the Shoshone National Forrest as if I've actually driven it before.

I would assume to, but I'd like to double check first...just in case.Pamela Brittonhttp://www.pamelabritton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-61582859450644564122010-02-06T11:29:00.364-08:002010-02-06T11:29:00.364-08:00You know what I've taken to doing, Paula?

Our fictional town is near the real town of Cody, WY and so I used Google Earth's 3-D feature to scan the town.

So I don't want to do the same for any of my readers!Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-7063783691911821672010-02-05T15:41:27.740-08:002010-02-05T15:41:27.740-08:00Do you have any suggestions as to finding and subm...Do you have any suggestions as to finding and submitting to publishers?
